Because it’s really not clean. There are only a few people who wave the flag and wave the flag, and the majority of them have money dealings with rebels.
There are hundreds of people who have bribed Wang An. They all knew two months ago that Wang An was going to be the eunuch in charge of rituals and eunuchs. Anyone who didn't bribe and hold on to the throne has no eyesight.
There are also Liu Yijing, Zhang Fengxiang, Song Shixiang, Hui Shiyang and others, who have given many gifts to each other in private.
There are also those who have neglected their duties, including Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, and Wu Xun, the commander of the Beijing camp. With such a rebellion, which one is not a serious dereliction of duty? According to the ancestral system, which one can be spared lightly?
If we really follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty and kill every other person, who can be wronged?
What all the officials fear most is to use this rebellion to directly launch a purge.
This time, even Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian's expressions changed slightly. They wanted to assist Taichang and the prince, but did not want to cause a river of blood.
If you really follow the example of Taizu and Chengzu... let alone the Tengxiang Four Guards, Zhejiang Soldiers, and White Pole Soldiers in the hands of the Prince Supervisor and control the capital, you can really kill them.
But don’t worry, the days are still long, and there are solutions later~
When the two of them panicked slightly, Zhu Youxiao spoke again: "Actually, Taizu gave me a dream a few days ago, and Chengzu also came yesterday..."
Bad things...can't be true, right?
"Hahahaha~ Taizu, Chengzu didn't tell me about the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He told me that the kings and ministers worked together to sweep across the grassland. The waves from all the nations came with great momentum, and they went to the West to show the prestige of our country."
I'm scared to death... The officials didn't dare to express their anger just now, but now they can finally speak calmly and smoothly to avoid fainting.
Zhu Youxiao finally added: "They also told me that military, legal, peasant, Mohist, and of course Confucianism, all of them are our treasures in China."
Speaking of this, he stood up and seemed to recall a dream: "I... In those days, groups of people called themselves Taizu like this. In the dream, I shed tears when I heard it. In the future, I will learn from Taizu and become an ancestor. I won't be called an ancestor."
Called lonely."
"Your Highness, Holy Ming!"
"Your Highness the Holy Might!!!"
All the civil and military officials praised me. I don’t know whether they were because they would not be as strict as in the early Ming Dynasty, or because they did not call me alone and called me like Taizu Chengzu.
Zhu Youxiao saw that the atmosphere was relaxed, and there were some important things for the officials present to remember.
"Don't panic, everyone. I said that the laws of the Ming Dynasty were strictly enforced when Taizu became the ancestor. This is because Zuo Yushi just mentioned the ancestral system. In fact, I want to ask the great uncle, how many policies are still being implemented according to the ancestral system?
?"
Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, had just calmed down when he was hit again.
"I, I think...it is true that the ancestral system is our Ming Dynasty, but the current situation is indeed not the same as the early years of our dynasty. Some things have indeed developed, so there is no need to copy the ancestral system in everything."
OK~
Zhu Youxiao is very happy. This Sun Ruyou is not stupid and knows what to say. What he just said is a bit like a detailed analysis of the development and changes of things and specific problems.
As long as you are a smart man, if you really ask about Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, maybe those two people will risk their lives without telling you, and they will still clamor to follow the ancestral system and kill the officials of the Manchu Dynasty if they have the ability...
"So, all of you here today, please don't talk too much about His Majesty and the ancestral system in political affairs. Instead, focus on the law and yourself, and keep secret about the ancestral system."
Zhu Youxiao used the foreshadowing just now to tell the ministers present not to mention the ancestral system in the future, otherwise they should also use the ancestral system when dealing with officials involved in rebellion today.
Reforms and changes in the future will definitely encounter resistance, but when you want to use ancestral system to oppose change, don't forget that you still owe ancestral system your life today~
Whoever mentions the ancestral system wants to kill the officials present today to see if they will support change in the future~
All the officials feel that investigating the rebellion according to the ancestral system is extremely difficult. Every other person who dies today is a rare person.
In the future, whoever raises the ancestral system and opposes the prince's supervision of the country will be in trouble with the officials.
"I agree." Fang Congzhe, Zhang Weixian, Li Ruhua, Huang Kezuan, and Huang Jiashan expressed their opinions first.
"I agree!" Han Xu, Zhu Chunchen, Zhou Jiamo and other officials immediately followed, fearing that if they agreed too slowly, they would be served by an ancestral system.
All the officials present today received a "letter of nomination."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wen Tiren, and all these words had been entered into the file.
A big stone fell to my heart.
In the future, officials will not be able to use the ancestral system to stop themselves~
He said in a slightly brisk tone: "By the way, I just mentioned the military school, the Legalist school, the Farmer school, the Mohist school and other hundreds of schools. I did not mean to abandon Confucianism as the main school. I just wanted to tell everyone, does anyone think that Taizu was a Confucianist?
"?"
...Ah?! Of course not.
If you want to explain that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a Confucian, no one would believe it.
No matter how you look at it, they are all military strategists, legalists and even farmers. The latter are Confucian scholars. The Ming Dynasty continued to rule the world with scholar-bureaucrats from the two Song Dynasties and accepted the Confucian system and personnel, but no one would think that Zhu Yuanzhang believed in Confucianism.
"I also heard that Liu Ji and Liu Bowen knew astronomy from above and geography from below. They were the arm of Taizu in planning and strategy. They were the first to supervise laws and regulations in the Ming Dynasty. They were also connected with government agencies, scribes, ghosts and gods. They were all known by hundreds of schools of thought.
.
But according to the pre-Qin period, Confucianists, Legalists, Mohists, military strategists, and public losers will definitely invite him to join, but I think his lower limit is Lu Buwei, a miscellaneous scholar, and his upper limit is more than just ganging up on Guiguzi..."
"Good!" Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, praised: "His Royal Highness, the Supervisor, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and Mr. Liu Bowen is indeed a great person."
For the Ming Dynasty, the Hundred Schools of Thoughts happened more than 2,000 years ago.
Although the civil servants regarded themselves as Confucian scholars, Confucianism at this stage of development must have learned from the strengths of other schools, and of course it also had its own rigid, restrictive and conservative ethics.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to make the officials owe him favors and have to accept the Mohist family.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly changed the topic: "If we strictly follow the Confucian etiquette and the strict legalist governance, it will probably be the same as before, and every official will be severely punished."
Zhu Chunchen said at this time: "I believe that many civil and military officials, including myself, have made mistakes, but please give priority to those with the worst attitude and unrepentance. These people should be severely punished."
When he said this, he was actually putting himself together with the other officials, and proposed that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou should be killed and their homes confiscated. At this time, the proposal was also based on the expectation that the prince expected to have their homes confiscated, so he proposed severe punishment for his bad attitude and unrepentant behavior.
who.
Zhu Youxiao didn’t listen to him~
Zhu Chunchen must listen to him. How can he guess what he means and still act according to his suggestions?
Zhu Youxiao said gently: "Strictly follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty, or strictly follow the systems of Confucianism and Legalism, which must be dealt with seriously. However, I think this matter involves the reform of the Yushi Yanguan, and I just want to talk about it.
Mohism’s universal love cannot be achieved without attacking and praising.”
Mohism’s universal love, non-attack and praise and punishment?
Some officials no longer care so much. As long as they can keep their position and are not held accountable, they will accept it.
